NORTH HAVEN, Conn., March 24—
The State Agricuulture Department has suspended a dairy farm's milk-production license after 68 dead cattle were found hidden. The farm, owned by Richard Akowchek, was investigated Monday after a complaint had been received. The cause of death appeared to be malnutrition, according to a state veterinarian, Dr. Jean Kucia. She said that 75 surviving animals were in varying states of health and that they were quarantined, relocated and isolated.
